NEW YORK--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--SheKnows
Media, a leading women’s media company that averages 60 million
unique visitors per month (comScore) and reaches over 300 million social
media fans, announced that it has opened the Call for Entries for the
third-annual #Femvertising
Awards today, in honor of Equal Pay Day in the U.S. This year’s
awards program was announced last month on March 8, International
Women’s Day.

“We launched the #Femvertising Awards in response to a growing need for
advertising that inspires and empowers women and girls, while also
driving productive audience engagement. We don’t believe a company, or
advertiser, needs to choose between profit and social responsibility.
The best companies do both”

Based on a word coined by SheKnows Media in 2014, the #Femvertising
Awards pay tribute to brands, agencies and organizations that break down
gender stereotypes through pro-female advertising. This year, SheKnows
Media is expanding the scope of the awards with the addition of the new
#Normvertising category, created to honor advertising that challenges
societal norms – rejecting notions and labels associated with race,
sexual orientation and religious beliefs.

The following panel of advertising executives and industry thought
leaders will help SheKnows Media determine the 2017 #Femvertising Awards
finalists, which will be announced in August when the public voting
phase of the awards program begins:

Arianna Huffington, Founder of The Huffington Post and
Founder and CEO of Thrive Global

Ultimately, the public will determine the winners of the 2017
#Femvertising Awards via public vote. The winning campaigns will be
announced during the 2017 Advertising Week New York conference taking
place September 25-29. To date, more than 170 brands and agencies of all
sizes and across all industries – from Always to Bud Light to Dove to
RAM Trucks to Under Armour – have summited their work for recognition,
and more than 20,000 votes from the public have been cast for the
best-of-the-best pro-female advertising.

“We launched the #Femvertising Awards in response to a growing need for
advertising that inspires and empowers women and girls, while also
driving productive audience engagement. We don’t believe a company, or
advertiser, needs to choose between profit and social responsibility.
The best companies do both,” said Samantha Skey, President and Chief
Revenue Officer, SheKnows Media. “The response over the last three
years has been incredible – from the brands and agencies that look
forward to submitting every year, to the judges who help us make the
finalist selection, to the consumers who want smarter advertising that
rejects gender stereotypes from companies that are willing to walk the
walk with their corporate policies. I am pleased to welcome such an
incredible panel of judges to this year’s awards program, and to expand
the concept of #Femvertising through the addition of the #Normvertising
category.”
